Create a new API key for a service account

## Path parameters

- `service_account_user_id` string, required

## Headers

- `xi-api-key` string, nullable — Your API key. This is required by most endpoints to access our API programmatically. You can view your xi-api-key using the 'Profile' tab on the website.

## Request body

  - `permissions` union, required — The permissions of the XI API.
    - PermissionType[]

Each entry may be a CIDR range (e.g. '10.0.0.0/24') or a bare IP address (normalized to /32 or /128). On create, omit or pass null to allow all IPs. On update, omit to leave the allowlist unchanged, or pass "clear" to remove it.
  - `third_party_disable_allowed` boolean, nullable — Whether the holder of this key may disable it via the self-disable endpoint. On create, omit or pass null to use the workspace's default (enabled for non-Enterprise plans, disabled for Enterprise plans).
